- Comment on YouTube disabled SRV3 subtitle uploads and started deleting them on existing videos 1 day ago:
Dammit, it was very useful to poison subtitle files for AI !
Write immense amounts of garbage text outside the viewport. AI sees it, viewers don’t ! I believe there’s even a way to prevent screen readers from getting confused by it… It was great.
- Comment on FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link) 1 day ago:
This is why we federate. Is your community name taken by people you don’t like or agree with ? Just make your own on another server !
- Comment on AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow 1 day ago:
“Reverse centaur” is a super clunky term, I think we should say “Minotaur” instead.
A Centaur has the head of a person and the body of a beast, a Minotaur is the opposite.
- Comment on Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud 3 days ago:
I’d rather have no PC than a cloud PC.
And I’m a computer scientist, so that’s saying something ! I’d sooner switch careers to lumberjack (lumberjane ? What’s the feminine ?) than have to work on that feudal nonsense.

I’m sorry to inform you that you have fallen for online propaganda. Cholesterol definitely is bad for you.

- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 5 days ago:
I’ve been looking at it from afar and it’s nice to see some people trying to innovate upon the Minecraft formula ; though in this case I think the Hypixel people and I enjoy different things about Minecraft.
- Comment on Meta Reportedly Cutting About 1,500 VR and AR Jobs Amid Renewed Push to Become an AI Juggernaut 6 days ago:
Now wait for the rename ! What is it gomma be this time ? I’m betting just “Intelligence” like they cut down “Metaverse” to just “Meta”

As the primeagen recently said : If it weren’t shit, we wouldn’t be saying it’s shit.
- Comment on Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025 6 days ago:
Personally I still relate to the other graph. Lemmy posts can sometimes be much too focused on negative things, so I sometimes take pretty long breaks before coming back when it gets too depressing.
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 1 week ago:
It seems writing things by hand if better for memorization, and it certainly feels more personal and versatile in presentation.
I write lots of things by hand. Having physical papers is helpful, I find, to see lots of things at once, reorganise, etc. I also like being able to highlight, draw on things, structure documents non-linearly…
I’m a computer scientist, so I do value typing immensely too. But I find it too constraining for many reasoning tasks, especially for learning or creativity.
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 1 week ago:
Children don’t yet have the maturity, the self control, or the technical knowledge required to actually use AI to learn.
You need to know how to search the web the regular way, how to phrase questions so the AI explains things rather than just give you the solution. You also need the self restraint to only use it to teach you, never do things for you ; and the patience to think about the problem yourself, only then search the regular web, and only then ask the AI to clarify the few things you still don’t get.
Many adults are already letting the chatbots de-skill them, I do not trust children would do any better.

- Comment on 200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach — here’s what we know so far 1 week ago:
If PornHub has any of your data, congratulations, you are an idiot.
They have endless supplies of free content you don’t even have to login to watch, and they don’t block ad-blockers or VPNs afaik.

I am very luckily not one of them, but I support this message. When Trump was elected I told all my american friends “Get guns. Now”
None of them listened. I really hope it won’t come back to bite them…
- Comment on YSK: ICE is MURDERING in the streets! 1 week ago:
As “I did a thing” says, they’re just nerds. But they nerd about weapons that actually kill people, instead of anything cool or useful.
